i would like to avoid the taxi-mafia there and rent a motorbike right at the airport or around the corner. does anyone know a reputable shop?

if that's not possible, can i still get a minivan to patong for 200b ?

any recommendations for good rental shops there? i would like to get a honda dream 125ccm or similar for the first few days and maybe a bigger bike for the next 1-2 months.

Simon43, who has a hotel around the corner of the airport will know; maybe you can send him a PM.

Search for him top left (Google) or top right 'search.

here you go:

I reckon you will be better off getting minibus to Patong and hiring a scooter/bike daily, as you need it.

It would be ridiculous to hire a scooter for a couple of days from near HKT.

Imagine having to return to exchange it, time and miles etc.

In Patong, hotels usually have bikes for hire.

That is my modus operandi.
